Stewart Jones’s Vivid Cityscapes

Stewart Jones is an immensely talented Canadian artist with a passion for painting vivid cityscapes — many set in Ontario — that are simply wonderful. He refers to his paintings as “love letters to the forgotten corners and alleyways” of our cities. Jones’s images often depict buildings at irregular angles or vantage points and feature lush brushstrokes that together energize his work and provide a fresh perspective on the often-overlooked, uncelebrated urban structures and byways that constantly surround us. More of Jones’s beautiful art can be seen at his painting website here and on his Facebook page.

Absolutely stunning. By happy coincidence, I can provide an update on the Picton Royal Hotel, having just returned from a vacation in Picton. The hotel is now signposted for restoration. Wouldn’t that be terrific?
